Can’t even constructively criticize there. God forbid. This ND team without Pflueger is horrendous. As I said on the other board, I was happy to get a W. We struggled quite a bit in this game, IMO. That gestapo Bees thinks Frank played fine. Even more regression by the Centers. Some better movement but still relying too much on long jumpers. Some of them tough ones. We had at least two SC violations, lol. I mentioned all of this and they want to run me out of town. F them.

Welcome to the club. Some of the mods over there are really too touchy and you can't say anything bad about certain players. PC is just horrible. Been with us going on year 3 and no improvement all on offense. How the hell does he miss that one lay-up. 7'2" and can't dunk from there...smh. Frank played like crap first half and Carey gave us a huge spark. Not sure why JB sat him and put Frank back in. Buddy is a good lower D1 player point blank. His only good games have been against crappy teams. Maybe he should transfer to Cornell and play with his brother. We only need to play 3 guards at this point. Got to give a little break to Sidibe. Thought he looked good at times out there and he's still trying to get back in sync from the injury last year. IF he could ever be the player he was last year against Pitt he'll be a good one. If Marek had 15 lbs more on him muscle wise he would be so much better in the middle of the zone. Nor sure who the S and C person is but might need to get someone else in there. OB, Hughes, and TB played well especially Hughes.

Happy to have you here. The more that make the jump to this board the better. There's way too much censorship on the other board. I got booted off for making a stink about needing another center in our 2019 class because Chewy isn't staying (nor is he very good) and Sidibe had proven nothing. I refused to recant and say that Sidibe would be the next Olajuwon. Well guess who was right? LMAO!
Hopefully with a few other guys we can build this board into what the other board could/should have been. I for one don't miss the drama. I can post my thoughts on here without an onslaught of criticism for not wearing Orange goggles. Please stick around. You are a good poster, and not afraid to speak your mind. I respect that. Hope you had a great holiday season bro.
As for today's game... it was a win. But only three guys truly played well... Hughes, Tyus and Oshae. Our centers continue to be terrible with very little production. I don't think we're a tournament team this year, and that's profoundly disappointing.

Yeah, again, I’m happy to get the win but...
ND sans Pflueger is an OK at best mid-major, IMO. We struggled a lot today.
The fact that Syracuse basketball is needing Dolezaj to play the 5 because the others are so bad is an absolute farce. He’s a role player on most decent teams. Probably wouldn’t crack the rotation on any ‘elite’ team.
Sidibe was terrible also. I’m not going to participate in any circle-jerk on syracusefan.com because he made a couple of decent plays. Plays he SHOULD be making. Too many follies though. He almost walks after most rebounds since his lower body is so weak. Can’t stay balanced. Chukwu my god. Not D1 worthy at this point.
Hughes has a really nice stroke. We were lucky he made some tough ones as the SC winded down. BTW, we had what, like at least two SC violations, lol?
Battle made some tough jumpers but he’s wired and good like that.
Buddy experiment should be over by now.
Carey needs to play more moving forward. Frank struggled getting by even the ND guys who were VERY slow up top.
Again, I’m not that convinced this team has righted the ship.

They only look good against unathletic teams. ND is one of those. They won’t get that separation or airspace moving forward for all these jumpers they take. That concerns me. The other board today wanted to run me out of dodge today. That Bees thinks Frank played well today.

I hear ya. Both of our centers have been terrible. In Dolejaz's defense he should never have to play center. He's playing there because of the ineptitude of the staff to recruit a good big man for two years now. Sure hope JBA will be better.
I will admit I was wrong about Hughes. He shoots the ball well, and is better than expected.
Buddy is a few years away from being able to contribute. I think he's fundamentally sound, but he's athletically a fringe D1 player.
Carey needs to see more minutes because he's our future, and Frank has not been playing very well. No explosion to his game anymore. No one has ever stated what his "undisclosed " injury was either. Did he do something stupid?
As far as ND is concerned, it was a win against a week undermanned opponent. We'll be eaten alive against Duke this year. They are vastly superior athletically and much much stronger.

They are vastly superior athletically and much much stronger. Oh I feel bad for Marek. No reason on earth he should be playing the 5 except for the reason you cited. Hughes is fine. He’s a decent swingman/2G for a P5. The problem is that compared to the rest of the offensively challenged players on the team he looks better than what he is, IMO. I like him don’t get me wrong but some posters were expecting Wes Johnson or something. Clemson I think will beat us. Georgia Tech isn’t good but they can really grind it down and they have a C I would kill for. James Banks transfer from Texas. He’ll kill our frontline. Alvarado is going to get in Frank’s and Jalen’s shorts. Duke will kill us. Something like 78 or 80-55. UNC and UVA will beat us easily. NC St’s guards will eat us alive. That’s a L even though they aren’t great. Wake should be a W. Louisville isn’t great put they play sound and hard under Mack...L. BC prob a W. Pitt is better...who knows there.

Agree with you 100%. We've got a real rough task in the ACC. We'll be lucky to finish .500 in conference.
As for Hughes, he's better than I expected him to be BUT like you said, he's no Wes J. He's getting a fair volume of shots because we don't have too many options. I expected him to be bad. The other board predicted an NBA caliber player. In reality, he's a decent D1 player, better than I gave him credit for, but nothing spectacular.

Haha... that board is a joke. I don't miss it one bit. It's peaceful here without censorship, and gang bullying. That board is for pussies. No one but me and a few others stood up to it. Like it would be so bad to be booted off??? Who gives a shit. They did me a favor. AND I was right. I said our centers sucked and that the staff had done a shitty job recruiting and developing the center position. Hmmmm... guess who's laughing now.
Seriously though, post here more regularly. The more people come over, the more will follow. It only takes a few people and slowly but surely it'll be amazing over here.

Yep and I agree, it's like you can't say anything negative about certain players or go after JB or GMac, especially in the game threads.

Banned. Nothing vulgar. Just some criticism...Frank and the Centers of course. Neutral shit really. I went to Dayton and Detroit last March for fuck’s sake!

Don't let it bother you one bit. Pretty soon that board will be a bunch of automated parrots that repeat back what the admins want them to say. I'm convinced that the admins and mods have at least 10 accounts a piece to help with all out gang assaults on those that speak truth. Those they can't whip into shape eventually get booted out. Let them do their thing. It was so blatantly obvious to me what was being done over there. They don't have a real messsge board, they have a brainwashing board.
LMAO, welcome to the real board my friend. It'll pick up. Syracusefan.com is IMO for pussies.

Whatever, I won’t mention it from here on out. Anyway... Good to see some friendly faces. Obviously haven’t had the issues and experiences you all have... but I know your names and respect your opinions. It’s good to be here. Long live the Orange.
